I'd like to use Cera Tec in my VW Touareg TDI engine. The rig has 31K miles on odometer, Oil was dealer-replaced couple of days ago. 9L oil requires 2 bottles of Cera Tec, which adds 0.6 L to the mix. Do I have to drain 0.6 L of oil before adding Cera...

the cera tec replaces 300mL of oil (600mL in your case) so that much oil should be drained prior to adding the product.

I use this product in my 2008 MINI. The dealer puts it in, and says "see you in one year or 14,000 miles, whichever comes first. So, don't waste your money changing this premium quality top-shelf synthetic oil every three months, especially if your engine is only three years old and not burning any oil (which I would imagine is the case, since you've been using this oil all along). If your driving style is characterized as "extreme duty" (short trips, dusty conditions, towing a trailer, extreme hot or cold) you might want to consider changing at 6000 miles. But you should certainly go with annual oil changes if you only drive 10K per year. Just check the color of the oil every so often, and if it looks transparent and not darkened, then it's still good.

Slick 50 is Great for any engine with over 50,000.00 miles on it, and then add a Quart every other 50,000.00 miles to your reg. oil change. If you wait for a engine problem to start and then think you are going to add a can or jug of instant fix. well it just does not work that way. Sorry. I have been using Slick 50 since 1983 when it was $35.00 a quart. it is the best product I have ever used. and now they have stopped selling it around where I live anyway. Have a Great Day

I would like to make a suggestion. If you really want to clean out your engine and make it run and last longer, use this, /Cerma-Gas or Diesel-Ceramic-Engine-Treatment. It will cut through every bit of crud in your engine and completely coat the metal surface with ceramic coating. Cerma really works and results will blow your mind. It is not cheap, but well worth it. It can be found here on Amazon and on Ebay. It has made my car with 240,000 miles run better than new and it is a one time treatment. PTK

Yes and I ever added a little more. The directions tell you what kind to use. Just check the dipstick and make sure the oil is at the full mark but not over filled.

The additive should be added at each oil change. All [99.9%] drains out with the oil dumped. Only a very small amount remains on the residual oil. Todays synthetics can go up to 15K miles so this is the duration of Liqui Moly as well.

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

Yes, but if you want the best out of this product and peace of mind knowing you won't overfill the oil level, it's best to add this when you change your oil and just as the oil level is a hair or two below the full mark. That way you won't run the risk of overfilling. When you perform the oil change: as soon as you are adding the new oil after emptying the old oil and putting a new filter on, fill it up until it's a little below the full mark, and add the 8 oz. bottle.

I know this synthetic is formulated for high torque Diesel engines, tractors, trucks and etc., and is a synthetic spin off of the long running 15-40 non synthetic by Shell. I have run this in gas V-8 engines year-round, and in my wife's gas SUV (6 cyl) but in warm weather. I recommend referring to your owners manual for recommended oil weight. Better yet, a quick call to a VW dealer or a local oil change shop would get you the answer.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

I usually try to use 20% of the total oil capacity with this lubricant, will not hurt anything! been using this way for over 15 years,

I prefer to add it a few hundred miles before the next oil change, because as it cleans the gunk out of the engine, the filter removes the gunk and the filter becomes full. If you use with fresh oil change, you will need to change the filter after a few hundred mile, to insure your filter system works correctly. You can add it to your gas any time, preferably often to keep your upper end lubricated and the fuel system, including injectors, clean. Excellent product from my experience.

Since this is a 4 stroke engine, using 5W30 is safe for all conditions, but a thicker oil (like 10W40) may be better for really hot conditions

Many times the dealer will overfill the oil. Go check your dipstick right now and see if it is in the appropriate range. If it is on the lower end of acceptable you could prolly add the ceretec now. However, if is overfilled take it back to the dealer and demand that they drain some out carefully. They should do this at no charge. Although they might be surprised as many folks don't even check the dipstick anymore and may try to blow you off. I have even experienced a dealer put twice as much oil as needed in a car!!! Trust me they really are not paying very good attention to things like oil changes... Many times the dealer will overfill the oil.

You may with your hand book to find what grade of the transmission fluid is require when it need to change. You consult directly with Red Line people, they should response to you shortly. Other comparision you may refer to Liqui-Moly, as they are Germany Oil maker, they may more appropriate for German made car. I hope my answer can fulfill your expectation. Thanks

I was wondering if it used gas/oil mix, so I looked up the users manual on google. It clearly states; fill the crancase with oil and use only regular grade gas, not to exceed 87 octane

You do not. It's added to your oil. Cera Tec will help when the cold days start and your engine has been sitting for a while. Certainly easier starting.Good luck!
